LONG BEACH, Calif., Dec. 7 -- All those accusations of unwelcome gropes in hostile work environments?
A distant memory of a recent unpleasantness, it seems. Because when the actress Jamie Lee Curtis introduced California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger at his Conference on Women and Families here on Tuesday, the audience of 10,000 -- about 9,995 of them female -- gave the Republican action hero a standing ovation.
"Welcome to the estrogen festival!" announced Curtis, who described her co-star in 1994's "True Lies" as a caring, compassionate gal pal who gets it. "He is," Curtis sighed, "the ultimate girlie man."
When a top button on Curtis's silk blouse came undone onstage, the governor looked down and said, "I didn't see anything."
The applause rolled in -- and then Schwarzenegger urged the crowd to go see Curtis in her new movie, "Christmas With the Kranks." Said he, "It's a box office smash."
A few hundred nurses could be heard chanting outside the cavernous Long Beach Convention Center, protesting Schwarzenegger's decision to allow hospitals to cut back on the number of nurses.
But the governor beamed his pearly whites and said, "Pay no attention to those voices" because "those are special interests."
So the day went. A little pop. A little schlock. Mixed in with you-go-girl messages of surviving breast cancer and making a mint -- bringing home the bacon and frying it up in the pan. Or as California first lady Maria Shriver put it: "We are dressed to kill at the office and dressed to play at home."
